Sant Simó de Tavascan, an old Romanic church in the village of Tavascan, in the municipality of Lladorre, in the Pallars Sobirà comarca, now comprises only two walls, standing next to the south side of the church of Sant Bartomeu de Tavascan in the village. These walls, built with irregular masonry and plastered, have external buttresses. The tallest, western wall houses an arched window. Originally a fully functioning Romanic church, over time only these two walls remain standing, partially covered in ivy and moss, giving the church a dismal and eerie appearance. Although steeped in mystery, the fate of the church remains a captivating enigma.
